For children of Virpur village in Jamnagar district of Gujarat, going to school means covering 20 km on foot. With no proper transport and lack of resources, the landless labourers of the village are forced to stop sending their children to school. This, according to Afsana Noyada, 16, is "a violation of child rights". She, along with Manjula Munavalli, 17, from Dharwad district of Karnataka, made a presentation on the condition of schools in rural India before the United Nations Committee on Child Rights that met in Geneva on October 10.
